"The 2009 Gevrey villages is a lovely example of the vintage that shows off the ripe and generous fruit of the vintage in a fine, transparent style. The bouquet is a mélange of black cherries, grilled meats, coffee, refined soil tones and a classic topnote of mustard seed. On the palate the wine is fullish, pure and quite soil-driven, with modest tannins, lovely focus and complexity and most impressive length and grip on the suave finish. Just a lovely bottle of Gevrey AC. 2012-2030."
